There are so many possibilities for fun with a NooK Play Sofa. And our Extensions take that to a whole new level. You have the ability to customise a set of indoor play equipment for your home that provides your children with endless opportunities for play.
The Wedge Tail was one of the first Extensions we added to the NooK collection. It’s made with our extra firm foam to provide great stability, giving you so many ways to include it in your builds. Plus, when it’s not in use, the two Wedge Tail pieces stack perfectly on top of each other, ideal for easy storage or using as a side table for your NooK.
If you’re considering adding a Wedge Tail to your NooK collection, we share six fun ways to play with this versatile Extension.
The most obvious use for the Wedge Tail is as a home indoor slide. It’s the perfect shape for sliding. If you want a basic slide, just use one of the Wedge Tail pieces propped up against your NooK Play Sofa.
If you want to level up your Wedge Tail slide, pop one of the Wedge Tails on top of three stacked NooK base cushions. Place the other Wedge Tail directly in front and you’ve got hours of fun.
To make a really slippery – AKA fast – Wedge Tail slide, cover it with some silks or shiny fabric. Then get ready for some serious fun!
The Wedge Tail also makes a fantastic prop for tumbling and gymnastics practice. Kids can use it as a soft surface for flips, rolls and turns. With the Wedge Tail set up in the same way as the advanced slide above, you’ve got your own mini home gym for practising new moves and gymnastics skills.
If you want a super soft landing, place your setup on an Oasis Mat or with a Hammock at the end of your ramp.
The Wedge Tail isn’t just for physical activities. It also makes the best toy car ramp. Line your toy cars up at the top and send them zooming down the ramp!
If siblings or friends want to compete, line the Wedge Tails up next to each other for a wider track. Alternatively, place the Wedge Tails back to back so the cars can race up the track and fly down the other side.
With a finishing line at the bottom – try out the Den for a good “stopper” – and some stuffed animals as the cheering crowd, it’s almost like a day at the speedway.
Anyone for a mountain climbing adventure? Thanks to the extra firm foam inside the Wedge Tail, it’s the perfect base for gross motor activities like climbing. The kids can imagine they’re scaling the heights of Mount Everest or climbing to the top of a castle to fight a fiery dragon. It’s a great way to unleash their inner explorer!
Add a pair of zipped-together NooK base cushions or a Hammock over the top for a smooth surface to climb.
No indoor play setup is complete without an obstacle course. The Wedge Tail fits right in as a climb-over, crawl-under or jump-off element. Whether the Wedge Tail is your only Extension or you have everything in the NooK collection, it’s easy to create a multi-step course that challenges balance and coordination.
Obstacle courses are great for active indoor fun on rainy days and offer kids an outlet for all that boundless energy.
The Wedge Tail makes an awesome surface for a marble run. In fact, it’s ideal for racing ANYTHING!
If you’ve got some curved blocks you can use on the Wedge Tail, you can create a course for the marbles to bounce around in. This is also an excellent problem solving activity. The kids need to work out how to position the blocks along the course to keep the marble on the run. There’s endless ways for them to do it and they’ll have a lot of fun in the process.
The Wedge Tail is not only easy to store, but actually serves another function when you need to pack it away...
Simply store the wedge-shaped pieces facing one another to make a handy side table for your NooK Play Sofa!
You also have the option of splitting your NooK and placing the new modular Wedge Tail block between the two halves as a centre table or extended armrest. It's perfect for resting movie night treats and also for creating separate seating that feels luxurious and roomy.
Indoor play equipment for the home has never been so fun as it is with NooK! From our modular play sofa to the Wedge Tail and our complete range of Extensions, you’ll never run out of ways to play.
